Officer Down Memorial Page

I just found out about Trevor from a friend's post of Facebook concerning one of the individuals that killed Trevor. We worked and travelled together while stationed in D.C. I used to get e-mails from Trevor while I was deployed over seas in the Navy. Most of the time they were jokes, or something amusing, that would make me laugh or smile and were always appreciated. When they quit coming, I thought it was just because things got too busy with work/family, or other things took precedence. I read through many of the posts others have left and it's obvious that he never changed. When Trevor joined the Marines, he selflessly put the well-being of others before his own and put himself in harms way to protect those that could not do so for theirself. Along the way, he passed his knowledge, training, and values down to those he was responsible for and enabled them to do their job with the utmost readiness and professionalism. It's no wonder that he would trade in one uniform for another that allowed him to continue on with the same values of Honor, Courage, and Commitment, that he learned in the United States Marine Corp. It's no wonder that he still wore a uniform that put the well being of others before his own. And it's no wonder he still put himself in harms way between those that would do harm and those that could not protect their self. Trevor will continue to be an inspiration and a hero to me. I will always be indebted for the sacrifices he, and his family, endured, as a Marine and as a policeman, that allow me to live my life today. To his family and friends, words can not reflect how sorry I am for your loss. Trevor was a great person, Marine, and friend. I would appreciate if someone would read this to him for me.
